Test your knowledge of the road signs pictured and see how many you can guess correctly before they are removed from our roads forever – you’ll find the answers in the box below.

Acquired by The Times as part of a Freedom of Information request, the 2017 report found that there were as many as 4.3million road signs on British motorways, which had been installed in the thinking that more signs would mean fewer accidents.

The DfT has now called for whole categories of signs to be scrapped entirely.

Those likely to face the chopping block include notices for clearways and the end of motorway regulations, as well as a host of warning signs for traffic lights, junctions, speed camera and roundabouts.
